So,
I've been wanting to get a cat fishing reel kind of cat toy. I wanted a toy that could reely get Bella the cat running around. I saw a cute one at Target and bought it. It was the right size and worked pretty good for a day. Then it broke. The line snagged and I couldn't get it untangled. It was caught in the reel. So I took it back. Target was great and refunded my money. I got another one because I really liked the look and feel of the thing and I hoped it was just a fluke. The 2nd one broke in less than an hour. I was totally bummed.. and so was Bella!
Now the Good News!
I got to go to one of my favorite stores...Squidco! I hardly ever need to go there but this was the time. They sell all things fishing. I bought a nice little 6 foot pole with a shimano reel. It cost less than the cat reel. I made some alterations. I only use the top 1/2 of the pole, (it's a 2 piece pole) I used paper tape to make the pole wider so I could attach the reel with electric tape. I let about 10 yards of line and then taped the rest of the line to the reel, then rewound the line. Now it doesn't get knots in the line. Mostly tho I just let out about 4 feet of line and lock the reel and Bella the cat, the fuzzy acrobat flies around the room. Yeah!
